What's the Status of Public Opinion in Russia?

"It's not a terrifying obscenity that we have a president of the United States who treats him as a normal leader," says Peter Bergen. "A Putin is a bloody dictator who jails and kills his opponents, has waged several illegal wars to the tune of hundreds of thousands of lives." He adds: "I do not think it is okay to treat him as anormal leader ... no matter how much the current American president aspires to be like him"
